Sonoreperfusion Therapy for Microvascular Obstruction: A Review
Coronary artery disease and acute myocardial infarction are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Contemporary therapy is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), performed by balloon angioplasty and stent placement.
Should we Target Myostatin, PCSK9 or Their Combination in Ischemia or Reperfusion Injury?
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is the consequence of a transient interruption of the blood supply for pathologic, traumatic or surgical reasons, followed by flow restoration with rapid hemodynamic changes in the downstream tissues and organs.
Cytokines (IL-1 β, IL-6, IL-18, TNF-α) in Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid in Neonatal Hypoxia/Ischemia)
Perinatal brain injury is an important clinical and socioeconomic entity. It is a syndrome of impaired brain function in the early days of life, and it is a consequence of inadequate brain oxygenation before, during or shortly after birth, with high mortality rates and early and late morbidity rates.
Beta 3-Adrenergic Receptor (β3-AR) Activation at the End of Sustained Ischemia and/or Early Reperfusion may Prove to be a Valuable Cardioprotective Strategy
The contribution of β3-AR activation towards ischemiareperfusion (IR) damage largely depends on the disease stage, severity, experimental model as well as drug specificities which should be considered when investigating β3-AR pharmacology for potential therapeutic applications. These conceptions largely contribute to the discrepancies of the subsequent role of β3-AR activation in the cardiovascular disease process.
